the skincare routine

this was originally an instagram post, but i thought it would be better as a quick bonus blog post instead. so, this is tonight’s skincare routine, as well as what my routine is going to look like for a while thanks to some killer new products (excluding the mask, which is just a once a week treat these days)…

🌿wash: mix of stark skincare aurora cleansing balm & glossier milky jelly cleanser // i emulsified the balm in my hands and then added a pump of mjc. these mix beautifully to offer a moisturizing cleanse that is easily rinsed off with warm water.

🌿serum: previse nutrify 1-6 hyaluronic acid serum // i ordered this through the beauty heroes shop to replace my deciem hylamide low molecular ha serum – this is thinner in viscosity but feels the same on the skin and is a nice, quite basic serum.

🌿oils: indie lee squalane & stark skincare midnight regenerating // i picked up the indie lee oil this week in california during the anthropologie 20% off sale. i’ve been researching squalane for a while and was so pumped to actually test this in person. it’s a lightweight, extremely moisturizing oil that my skin is completely drinking up. the stark mr is exactly what it says, a nighttime oil that works to repair and nourish the skin. these work in combination beautifully.

🌿eyes: living libations all seeing eye cream // i’ve been using this for a few weeks now and am really enjoying it. i haven’t seen immediate effects, but i also wasn’t expecting to. very hydrating and i like knowing i have a specific product for my eyes now.

please note: this is a lot of skincare, especially for me. but through some extensive research and trial, this is what my skin needs and wants. as far as the stark skincare items – i have completely fallen in love with jess via her youtube channel, and her products are just as amazing as she is. seriously, i have been getting a full on education about green beauty and skincare (and skincare in general) and just love her.

ohhhh my gosh what a question! i have loved the evan healy lavender hydrosoul for over a year now and always have a bottle or two, but my newest favorite is definitely the indie lee squalane oil! have you tried any of these? xo

[…] indie lee squalane oil: i went through 2 whole bottles of this oil this year! this oil is both lightweight and intensely hydrating, making it perfect for both day and night use. i can honestly say this oil has a firm place in my skincare routines. my one critique is that the packaging has become unusable on both bottles, so i’ve had to decant it into another dropper bottle. mentioned here.
